Re: Evolution Online-Novel

The moment Tilia agreed to Liam's terms and conditions, a wave of palpable energy spread across numerous places in various corners of the planet.

Liam could not feel it, but the fairy surely could. This was going to change everything. She had goosebumps all over her skin. This was the first time she was witnessing something like this, and that too in a lower realm.

"I hope you know what you are doing." She mouthed softly as she looked at Liam. But unlike her, there was no trace of nervousness or hesitation on his face.

There was only a big grin.

Liam clenched his fists in excitement. He had already lost everything and now was once again close to losing everything all over again, but it was not fear that he felt.

When one was at rock bottom, the only way to go was up!

Perhaps that divine temple priestess had the power to change the fate of his entire world, obliterate him, his loved ones, and billions of others into nothingness. However, he also had the power to do the same, and now his turn was starting!

"Ok. Now let me explain to you what features your upgrade entails. First, guilds across the world would now be able to demarcate and set up a safe zone. This provides up to one month of absolute protection."

"This is the first and foremost important feature of this upgrade, especially in the current state of the world. However, only a safety zone is provided. The guild members have to take care of the rest, including food and other essentials."

"The second important feature is…"

Tilia continued to explain the details in the background, but Liam was not in the mood to pay attention to these things at the moment.

He had just now thrown out the whole set of rules and blew the world wide open. However, the majority of the work was yet to be done. 

This was just the start. They were still not out of danger, and their grim reaper hadn't gone anywhere. He needed to act fast and carry out the rest of his plan.

"I will listen to everything in detail later. Can you just tell me about the teleportation portals for now? When will they be ready, and when can I use them?"

The fairy swallowed. She knew why Liam was in a rush, so she was hesitant to give him this bad news. "It will take at least 48 hours." She said with a bitter smile.

And just like she thought, Liam's face immediately changed. A lot could happen within 48 hours, especially when one was dealing with isons.

However, Tilia quickly remembered something else and offered up a vital piece of information on her own. 

"Mr. Liam, you don't have to worry about that. Now that you have made this unimaginably huge transaction, your reputation has already hit the maximum. You are our esteemed guest, and you are welcome to use the teleportation portals from our network."

"Ok." Liam nodded. His eyes narrowed to study the fairy, but this time she seemed to be genuinely helpful. Whether this was true or not or what could be the motive behind her actions, these things had to wait.

For now, he had more pressing matters to attend to. The path forward had finally been cleared, and it was time to rampage through it!

"Let's go." He looked at Luna and then signaled for the fairy to lead the way.

Tilia silently brought him over to the elevators of the magic shop, and then she took him to the fifth floor. There, on the floor, there was just a single huge hall to which the doors of the elevator opened up.

"The teleportation circle is inside. Please come this way."

Liam followed her and entered the hall. The first thing that appeared in front of him was a huge and complex pattern that was engraved on the center of the marble floor in black ink.

He looked around to find that this was, in fact, the only thing present in the huge hall.

Tilia walked toward this engraving, and Liam followed her. Once they arrived closer, she opened her system interface and tapped away at something on her interface.

"I modified the permissions. You should be able to use it now. Please go stand at the center of the formation."

Liam followed her instructions, and the next second an interface opened up in front of him as well. There were several options listed on this interface, and every single one of them was magic shops in the various corners of the world.

"So I just have to pick one, and I will be teleported there?"

"Yes. That's how it works."

Liam looked at Luna, and he then pressed the first option on the screen, the magic shop that was located in the northern part of China. 

So far, they had cleared three hive hills, two in the south and one near the middle portion of the vast country. This led him to believe that the next ones might be in the northern part, where they hadn't yet traveled to.

They still probably had to search the area for a while, but this was as good a bet as any.

Liam went ahead and selected the option, and the next second, the huge engraving on the floor lit up in threads of silver and gold. The world around him turned dark, and when he was able to see again, he was standing in an entirely different place.

He opened the system map to see that they were right outside the magic shop in the far north of the country!

"Let's go." Liam turned to look at the white fox, who immediately transformed her size. He jumped onto the fox, and without wasting any time, she blasted away in one direction.

The little fox once again used all of her energy as she blurred in and out, searching for any signs of a hive hill. Luckily, they did not have to look for long as they soon ran into their first ison.
